How is Cornell Tech's campus doing at Roosevelt Island, NYC? Microsoft has some really cool stuff going on aside from .NET Core. Simon Peyton Jones has been there since the late 90s working on Haskell. Some notable ones for me: F#, F*,

It's small wonder how any education takes place when everything is a minefield. It is always either bad intentions or motive vs. misunderstandings, and today it seems there are a whole lot of misunderstandings going on. It's very

>What are you basing your view on? According to the CDC,... There are many peer-reviewed studies that clearly show that natural immunity is equal if not better than the vaccine. The Israeli study for one, and that used 10 times the numbe

It has gone up from years previous too. I was only citing the year-to-year. I grew up with friends who became NYC cops, and they and others have let me know their hesitancy to be very proactive due to all the negativity towards their profes

I wanted to watch the movie Songbird in December 2020 because I occasionally like the dystopian quasi-apocalyptic movie. It was panned for being insensitive to make a movie about COVID during the pandemic. Like making WWII movies or Vietnam

The first link jumps to mathplanet when I select English for the site. I tried searching, but couldn't find a similar article there. The second link appears to be a curriculum by grade. I'll try again later, thanks!

I missed that, thanks! I'll have to take another look. When I think of neural networks that evolve changes in their topology and the weights between those connections, over and over towards optimizing a solution to function, I get the

Hacking was different then. I attended a few 2600 meetings in the Citigroup Center building in NYC back in the late 80s/early 90s, and HOPE in 1994. Sad to see they are pushing for the vaccine to attend without mention of natural immun

They seem to be similar to Gene Sher's TWEANNS - Topology and Weight Evolving Neural Networks - that I learned about in his 2012 book, "Handbook of Neuroevolution Through Erlang" (sure, it didn't pick up because Erlang ;

I agree, but I saw the defense that Toit wasn't just for ESP32. I have been playing with ESP chips since first tinkering with them over 8 years ago. C is fine when you're that small, Lua or even ulisp [1], forth, etc. Why Toit? Bo

I still go to NYC to do inspections and other work-related tasks, and sure, if you're single and coming from the burbs or out of state, it's your adventure to the big city. I suspect those are the Google employees you are referrin

Thanks for the links; I'll have a look. The Finnish idea of less hours, but more concentrated effort sounds like it could work. I have five children from medical school age to elementary school, and I have seen the hours of homework go

I am a big proponent of getting rid of the age-segregation as is it is now and widening the age range, but I'd like to see a citation on Denmark teaching Algebra later and the data on this. I read turn-of-the century math books that ar

Hopefully crime goes back down. I was born and raised in Brooklyn during some of NY's worst crime waves. It appears to be heading back that way again with inflation and crime. Felonious assaults are up over 18% since 2020, and robbery

Just going through this book. I am moving slowly through it, since I am no Lisp guru, but it is written very clearly and seems very thorough so far.

Does it have distribution and fault tolerance like Nerves on Elixir aside from having an LGPL vs. Apache (Nerves) license? It may be fast, but how does it compare to Nerves for highly-distributed, swarm or fault-tolerant networks using many

Not really as a parent who is very concerned about long-term risks, not immediate side effects, for their children. We have had COVID, and are still high in antibodies as of three weeks ago. Natural immunity is being shunned in the US. The

Wow! I love the mashup of unix/linux command line functionality with functional gui. I had been looking at Mezzano, because I prefer Lisp, but then I thought it would be great to implement a Lisp on SerenityOS with all native tie-ins t

It will not replace Frink as my desktop calculator/programming environment for "low-code" stuff especially since no other PL/utility handles unit conversions so effortlessly. I do like the command line/REPL example

I realize it's "low code", I code, but I cannot see how to play with it locally other than the console/REPL example towards the bottom. Will this be available in Excel? Access? Or do I need 'Dataverse'? I will

Yes, unfortunately it seems a theory or piece of news is memory-holed, banned, or otherwise stigmatized, and then even if evidence and facts show up later, retractions/corrections are rarely made. I remember reading Milan Kundera'

The 12-letter furin, only found in the SARS-COV2 in humans, isn't in the Laos bat DNA that is closest to SARS-COV2, so it seems like it could be a smoking gun coming from the Wuhan lab due to this furin marker. Daszak, more than Fauci,

I'm learning SPARK2014, a subset of Ada, for a controls software package I am trying to put together. I started in C, thought about using Rust or Zig, but finally settled on SPARK after reading through most of these two books: Analysab

Ignorance was/is bliss for the pleasure. I don't smoke (never did, really), gamble (parents were rabid horse bettors), or drink anymore, so let's say it is one of a few vices I am keeping for the pure pleasure of it. At least

Exactly, but at least it is self-limiting. How many tabs can you keep open with 32 gb of RAM? ;) And if your finger slipped out, there was no 'back' key!

I was 5 when Neil Armstrong stepped on to the moon in 1969. I remember watching it on a 12 in. black and white TV. Encyclopedias amazed me. I would thumb through them and look up each mention of something I didn't understand - the mode
